Quote - So like higher end graphic platforms like max and xsi, if you give P7 the hardware, it can work wonders.
As I touched on earlier in this thread -- in my experience, hardware has a lot more to do with overall performance than software does. But it's also true that some software packages can do more with less, hardware wise.
I've had P7 lock up on scenes that Vue could handle.
If P7 hums on your friend's machine -- then Max, Vue, Lightwave, C4D, et al should be able to positively fly on the same machine.
By no means am I knocking Poser. I have always been -- and am -- a staunch defender of the program. But I'm also enough of a realist to see where there's room for improvement. I believe that ef is about to give us that improvement.......which might even take Poser to the next level.
Good thing, too. I'm also going to have Carrara 6 Pro -- which if it turns out to be anything like the previews -- it'll be a subperb mid-point 3D software, too. And probably Poser Pro's main competition. Personally, I intend to have both packages.
